Sufficient progress has been made in Brexit talks, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has said, paving the way for talks on the future UK-EU relationship. | |
Theresa May arrived in Brussels on Friday morning following overnight talks on the issue of the Irish border. | |
The PM said there would be no hard border and the Good Friday Agreement would be upheld. | |
EU citizens in the UK "will be able to go on living as before". | |
Speaking at an early morning press conference in Brussels, Mr Juncker said: "Today's result is of course a compromise." | |
Negotiations had been "difficult for both the UK and the EU", he added. | |
Prime Minister Theresa May said getting to this point had "required give and take from both side". | |
The leader of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, Arlene Foster, said on Friday she was "pleased" to see changes which mean there is "no red line down the Irish Sea". | |
What happens to the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland had been among the key sticking points in Brexit negotiations. | |
On Monday, the DUP - whose support Prime Minister Theresa May needs to win key votes in Westminster - objected to draft plans drawn up by the UK and the EU. |
